Support Local Farragut Business

This post is basically to point you to the website for our local Farragut/West Knox Chamber of Commerce. We've got to really start supporting the business community in Farragut. After all, the only other major source of revenue after the shared taxes we get back are from local sales taxes. If the residents want to continue without any property taxes, we're going to have to spend more money in our own town. For the past few years, the FBMA has had to dip into the "rainy day" fund to balance the budget. If I understand correctly, that's the $7.5 Million that they've been dipping into (which means there was even more there to begin with!). If we don't increase the towns revenue, pretty soon that fund will be dried up and you know where that could lead.

Start supporting your local businesses today!
